gard to municipal affairs than the memo
! rial which the Ladies' Health
Protective Association sent to Mayor
Hewitt the other day. The
transaction of the city business is only
housekeeping on large scale after all, and
the women remind the Mayor that he mustn't
keep his house in such a way as to make it
harder for them to keep theirs. Two-thirds
of a woman's manual labor, aside from her
sewing, they say, is spent in keeping her
house clean. If the Department of City
Works doesn't attend TO its duty in cleaning
the streets and removing the ashes dust
blows in at every window and all her pains
is thrown away. True every word of it,
and not altogether bad idea ON the part of
the women to hold the city officials respon-
Sible in part to them. The tendency is OBJ
ViouS and almost as significant as the turn
out at the polls in Kansas.
DEATHS SHINING MARKS.
The death in New York, at such q brief
interval, of two of its wealthiest women,
Mrs. Cornelia Stewart and Miss Catherine
Wolfe, has naturally provoked much discus
sion of their relative habits and ways of
life. They were different enough in most
respects, Mrs. Stewart having shared her
husbands struggle up the hill toward
wealth, while Miss Wolfe inherited her vast
possessions. Both suffered equally from the
persistent greed of beggars of all kinds, but
beyond that there was not much resem-
blance Miss Wolfe was an active, busy
woman; Mrs. Stewart shut herself up in her
marble dungeon Miss Wolfe was AN intel
ligent patron of art; Mrs. Stewart never
bought picture after her husbands death.
Miss Wolfe yearly spent almost her entire
income on practical charitable and tefolma-
tory work, while Mrs Stewart lavished her
money on the marble memorial of her hus-
band at Garden City. | doubt whether
either of these much-envied women knew
much real happiness Miss VOLTS wealth
barred the door TO married happiness She
had suitors enough, but could never believe
in the diSnterestedness of any of them, and
so shut the door TO all.
PUG Dogs
